1. A vehicle containment barrier system, comprising:
a plurality of supports that each have a top end and a bottom end, wherein the supports are generally vertically orientated, and each include: a front side and rear side; a tab formed in the front side that is defined by reduced thickness area in the support comprising a recessed channel around the outer periphery of the tab, and a connection portion, wherein the connection portion is located at a bottom region of the tab and the reduced thickness areas is positioned at sides and a top region of the tab; a guardrail that is coupled to the supports so as to extend laterally across the front sides of the supports; and a plurality of connectors that couple the guardrails to the supports at the tabs, wherein the connectors are located within the outer periphery of the tabs; and wherein when a vehicle strikes the guardrail at the front side of the supports, the sides and top region of the tab move outwardly away from the support while the bottom region of the tab remains connected to the support and the tab remains connected to the guardrail, thereby suspending the guardrail above the ground while the supports move away from their generally vertical orientation as the vehicle impacts the barrier system. |
